Virtual Console: Winter Games (Commodore 64 - C64)

[MrsMusicchan]

OH man oh man oh man! I remember these games! They were hard as hell!

The fireworks show at the end was always the best part though :D

I used to love playing this on our Commodore way back in the day. I think I was only 3 or 4 years old, but my dad taught me how to type in "Load (Game name)" for each game we had and I'd play and play. I didn't even know this was on the virtual console.

@alloriginal I think a lot of gamers have fond memories of their 8-bit gaming 20-years ago.

[silentheaven]

@alloriginal I could make the exact same comment! My dad taught me the "LOAD GAME, 8" command. Great moments! :)

@alloriginal

Hehe, I had a C-64 when I was 5 or 6 too. Also its my dad taught me how to use it.. I blame my dad for getting me into gaming at an impressionable age.

I still load up C-64 and Amiga games on the emulator from time to time as some of them are still better than the half the games made today. GFX are not everything :)

Many fond memories playing Winter Games.. could never do the Ski Jump :(

[grandprix1963]

Haha! What a flashback. I played this over and over at my friends house who had a C64.

The figure skating was the trickiest part and the biathlon the funniest.

Great "text-tv"-graphics...

Thanks technofranki for uploading

[technofranki]

You're welcome.

I didn't have a C64 either, but new a few people that did. Winter Games was one of my favourite games at the time.

[jksonny]

I used to love this game!

[technofranki]

Me too.

Frank, you could do with practising your ski jump!

[technofranki]

Yes, I know. But we can pretend that I played as Eddie "The Eagle".

[Gil1976]

such memories - i had this on the C64 when it came out. I'm 33 now and when i saw this all the events came flooding back. great times playing this and summer games

[technofranki]

I'm 32. Didn't have a C64, but knew a few people that had.

Winter and Summer Games was some of my favourite games at the time.

[nailbiter]

classic game. remember playing this on my c64. could never figure out the figure skating either!

[Artemis458]

heh, cute game

[technofranki]

Yes. I remember playing the game some 20 years ago. The graphics is crap compared todays standards, but the game is still as fun and hard as it was back in the 8-bit days.
